E-Verify passes in U.S. Judiciary Committee

LAST NIGHT'S VOTE WAS A BIG MILESTONE,

The U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee last night voted 20-10 for H.R. 3711. The bill would require every employer to use the electronic E-Verify system to guarantee that U.S. jobs go only to American workers and foreign citizens with official work permits.
No more hiring of illegal foreign workers under this bill.

This has for 21 years been NumbersUSA's TOP PRIORITY for fighting illegal immigration. I believe it would be more effective than all other proposals combined in stopping future illegal migration.
NumbersUSA activists were successful in pushing the House Judiciary Committee to pass similar E-Verify bills on Sep. 21, 2011, on Dec. 16, 2014 and on March 3, 2015.

But first, Republican Speaker John Boehner, and then, Republican Speaker Paul Ryan, blocked the E-Verify bill from coming to the floor for a vote. They were largely believed to have been bowing to the wishes of the agri-business lobbyists who wanted to protect their ability to hire an illegal work force. [NumbersUSA]
